Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people, didn’t just sit and listen to the presentations. She asked questions and interacted with speakers where she could.

Percy Deal, of Diné Citizens Against Ruining our Environment, gave history more specific to the focus of the rapporteur. He said prior energy extraction efforts have ended without cleanup efforts.

I’m really great full you got the attention of the UN and got a representative out there. My concerns are with this new regeim in the W.H.. he is adamint he cutting funding yo the U.N. because he said ” they arnt doing any good” basically he said their useless. Did anybody catch that speech. It was in the same nite he spoke of ” cutting FDA red tape there’s just to many unnecessarily regulations holding the advancements of help to our people” the next item of topic was the EPA. he doznt think they are necessary either. The list goes on. But at the top was the U.N.. I hope he. Can’t do it. I truly hope help comes to THE PEOPLE. all I can do is remember it in my fires. PEACE TO YOU ALL FROM ALASKA. AND MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL.
